Discussion Collective dream diary

[ElTopo]

If you've read some previous threads you'd know I'm very interested in dreams and interpretations. So I thought maybe we could have a thread about it. Just post your dreams if you think they can be interesting, maybe add some commentary or some details about yourself if you want.
Previous thread with some weird dreams I've had HERE heres today's:
29-July-2025
The dream is based in some kind of delapidated house, like an abandoned military post or something, there's people with white coats trying to make some radios work (I work with radios irl and we do wear white coats due to electrostatic safety), they're trying to estabilish contact with someone outside. But there's beef between the characters here, I don't remember clearly but someone stabbed someone else with an infected/poisoned syringe. There's also this bald character who is tied down, he stabbed someone with a siringe and was stabbed too, my POV shifts and I become him, he's like a bad guy of some sorts. Suddendly a new guy appears and stabs me in the neck but not with a syringe but with some kind of propelled knife, like those scuba use that propel the blade forward when you press a button, it pierces my neck and I wake up feeling pain in the exact point in the neck that was hit.

 

[Unsure and Useless]

This is a really interesting thread! I don't have dreams often, so I won't have much to contribute, but it's the thought that counts, right? So here's a dream I had from a nap I took earlier today

July 29th, 2025

So, in this dream, I'm going grocery shopping with a friend of mine, which isn't weird as we usually do that anyways whenever we hang out. The weird part is that we're at a really big and modern-style (think a lot of glass walls) grocery store, and the one we usually go to isn't that big since we live in a relatively small town. Although, I, as in the dream version of me, don't question it, and my friend and I continue shopping for whatever. I can't remember what we were shopping for in particular—though I do remember that they weren't essential stuff, just snacks and sodas

Nobody's checking out and paying for their groceries. Presumably that's just how the dream world works because we do the exact same thing without getting stopped by an employee

However, the normalcy of my dream gets challenged when, all of a sudden, a man grabs my hand. I don't remember what he was saying, but he was talking about something along the lines of "[I was] pretty, so should [go] with [him]"

Of course, I freak out and pull my hand away from him, which makes him pissed. My friend and I are walking as fast as we can away from him so as to not attract any attention from him, but he continues to follow us. I start yelling at him to not touch me and to stop following us. This attracts the attention of bystanders. Some of them yell at him to stop while others literally pull him away from us. The whole time, he's screaming about not taking him away, promising to leave us alone
​

The crowd somehow believes this and lets him go, yet he gives us this stare that clearly shows he hasn't given up entirely. He sulks as he goes to his white truck-van hybrid vehicle, and I tell my friend to hurry up and get to their car so we can leave because I have a bad feeling he's going to follow us to their house

Dream me was right because, once we load our groceries into the car and take off, he's quick to follow us. At this point, my friend and I are freaking out because we think this guy is going to kill us for publicly humiliating him, so they're speeding on a strangely empty street. For a few moments, we're relieved that he can't catch up to us, but then the ground beneath us starts to shake before the car is abruptly launched into the air

My friend tries to maneuver the car back onto the road, but it's too late. IRL we live in the hillside, and my dream reflects this, so when we fall, we crash down into the valley between two massive hills, which was when I woke up super disoriented​

I don't think there's a deeper meaning to this dream. My best guess is that it's an amalgamation of previous experiences in my life. As previously mentioned, I go grocery shopping with my friend for snacks whenever we hang out, and there was a time where a stranger offered(?) to bring me to his place before suggesting(?) he'd follow me home whenever I declined to follow him to his place of residence. Although, that event happened while I was on a bus, not at a grocery store

 

[trying ungracefully]

Usually I can't remember my dreams because I smoke but sometimes important things pop out that I make interpretations of or I just have strangely vivid dreams at times.

So I have two that are not nice at all and then one funny/sad one that interests me. I wrote the not nice ones down because they really got to me.
1-28-2025
It was two dreams back to back.
First one: A scary man was inside my house trying to get me. My brother was there and said "let me hug my sister" and I went to hug him. The man the grabbed my brother so I freaked out and let him grab me. He picks me up and I push my brother away with my legs. I told him to get our mom. The guy took me to the back door. I tried saying something like "mom" but nothing came out. At one point I scream and he sticks his tongue out at me and it was a split tongue. I tried to say I always wanted that but nothing came out.

Second one: I got taken to a room with 20 or more men and I understood that I was going to get raped. I was in the corner. Some dude told me "don't worry we won't put it on you."

I don't know what to think of them honestly other than them maybe showing my fears and showing my protection over my brother.

-------

I don't remember the date but it's happened a few times.

I would hit my vape in my dreams. Then I would wake up with it in my hand when I know for sure that I didn't fall asleep with it there. Funny and sad at the same time. I hide it from my sleeping self now.

Makes me wonder a lot, glass walls might be some kind of self reflection thing, but what about buying snack and not paying?

Anyway I'm very sorry for what happened to you, I hope you're safe <3

For example, I often (really often) have sleep paralysis. Recently, I haven't had any at all, and only a few days ago, I had it again.

It was sleep paralysis combined with a nightmare. I don't remember the specific details of the dream and can't describe it reliably, but when the nightmare ended, it seamlessly transformed into sleep paralysis. The paralysis involved hearing and feeling someone walking around my room. I was also facing the wall and desperate to regain control of my body as quickly as possible. Of course, I'm somewhat accustomed to sleep paralysis by now, and moments after regaining control, I simply fell asleep.

Some of my sleep paralysis experiences might seem absolutely terrifying to people unfamiliar with the subject.

I woke up, in a garden with tons of people i love and animals I love. There was a special green leaf that if you gave it to the animals it would heal them and unlock a part to their brain. I was feeding all the animals it so they could be healthy and smart. I saw my family, I was talking to them and then my dad (we dont talk at all and I havent seen him in years) he began to have a heart attack, everyone was trying to get help then it went black, I was in my room. Curtains closed, it was dark (im scared of the dark) but my tv was on and it was playing a motion picture mural ocean? That definitely doesnt make sense But, yeah that appeared on the screen. I then looked to the corner of my room to see a figure, black figure just like a shadow, i rushed to open my curtains. And it dissappeared, I went to go open my bedroom door and I saw my boyfriend on the other side, I then started feeling really sick like to the point where I nearly fainted and laid on the floor. And then he was gone. I saw my mom, she had just come out the bathroom, she had her new pyjamas on. She looked very happy, I kept trying to tell her "somethings wrong"
"I dont feel good"
But she just smiled and went to her room.
I followed her to her room and she was sitting on her bed
I nearly fainted again, I laid on the floor and I kept mentioning to her how I was seeing stuff that wasn't there but she wasnt saying anything just smiling
I then began to get upset, saying "why dont you ever believe me!"
And stuff like that
I looked at her and that was not my mom it was a random woman
Then I woke up breathing heavily.
I keep having dreams where people who are closed to me are replaced with someone else who I dont even know.
I have another dream I had like that, ill share it after I finish work but I need to go now
If anyone could let me know their intreuptions that would be cool.

July 30

I was at my job, when my boss yells at me to get in place. Turns out I'm at a 9 year old girls birthday party and all of my coworkers are racing her to survive.

Bruh.

Oops, I forgot to share the other dream, I was tired as fuck when I got home and ended up passing out (im on my break at work again lol)This dream was about like maybe a month ago now

I was at my dad's house his old one so like, The one from where me and my siblings would run around in when we were younger but, I wasnt portrayed as my younger self in the dream it was me currently.
We were in the kitchen me and my dad, he stood behind me im pretty sure we were making dinner together, my sister or brother weren't around just me and him, there's a knock at the door, I went to open it and it was him (my dad) but he had a fucking terrifying smile on his face, looked like he had bad intentions or was pure evil. I kept trying to move back away from him back into the kitchen but the other version of him disappeared and I was stuck with this scary version of him. Then I woke up but, its like when your brain tries to trick you, I woke up in the old bedroom I used to sleep in at my dad's house. So obviously I was still in the dream. I heard a scream, I went to go look in the hallway and I see a huge hole in the wall, the wall is filled with guitars (something me and him bonded over) and there he is in the wall, still the scary version and he goes to attack me like lunge at me and I woke up, was literally so scared I was sweating.

I wouldn't call them dreams, more nightmares because they make me not really want to sleep and I wake up paranoid most of the time.

 

[Satori Komeiji]

I've already forgotten half of it but I had a dream where I was still in school. My teacher was selling e-readers for some reason. I thought "oh, I have one of those!" So I grab it out of my backpack to show him. It was broken. My real life backpack had a tendency to crush any objects that got to the bottom of the bag so I guess that's what happened to my poor e-reader. I said something like "Well, if only somebody was selling e-readers!" as a joke but he just ignored me. Then it was time for lunch where I proceeded to get a bunch of food that didn't look like actual food and also didn't have names.

There was ice cream though and I got a lot of it! For some reason all the ice cream was outside on a hill which is probably the last place ice cream should be stored. I go to pay for my food but the lady who I would give my money to wasn't there. Classmate approaches me and says to give the money to her so she can pay for it. Seems legit. I reach into my pocket and nearly give her my keys instead of money. "Let me just pay for my food with my keys, apparently", another joke. She walks off before I can give her the money then 10 seconds later comes back with a bit of an evil grin on her face then I woke up. That was weird. Most of my dreams are.

28th November 2025
It"s more like a series of dreams, they all take place in a small house in the woods (my house I guess), in one I find this frozen cat, I put it in warm water and it wakes up and it kinda becomes my cat from that point on. In this series of dreams I think I have a wife and kid(s) and am supposedly happy. Sometimes I go into the woods to a delapidated area, there is some weird shit there, like a locked up bear and so on, after doing some troubles there I keep coming back, finding text all over the place telling me my name, suggesting that someone that I know in the dream to be the owner of the place knows I did what I did.
I don't remember much else.

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

I almost never remember my dreams, period. But I have a few saved.

October 10th, 2025.

I was living with my mother and my cat Oreo again [both are now dead IRL], maybe I was exactly who I was back in high school when that was really a thing? Oreo was my tuxedo cat, blind and fat and dumb and full of love.

I took some kind of portal or teleportation to another land or dimension--it wasn't "here" but it seemed to be similar to real life, aside from y'know the portal thing. It was for some sort of camp or retreat maybe? I know I was supposed to stay there for at least a week.

A couple of days in and I couldn't reach my mother on the phone. I called other folks I knew "back home" and none had seen her or Oreo since I'd gone through the portal. I told people in the portal land about this and they said they would keep an eye out for both of them and also call around.

Days later and I was getting more and more stressed. Finally, someone found security video showing Oreo following me through the portal and then falling off of a cliff and into water--the ocean?--because she was blind and dumb. Despite it being several days after she'd died, we were able to raise her from the water and bring her back to life somehow.

I don't remember anything else--if we ever found Mom, if the dream just ended right there even.

November 17th, 2025.

I had an SUV/van kinda car and I had it parked at the mall downtown. [Note, I have never driven a car IRL nor had a driver's license.]

It was another one of those dreams where I could barely walk and had to crawl sometimes. Like my legs wouldn't work, I couldn't get them to bend or move sometimes.

I saw the Try Guys at the mall, Keith was dressed as an emo with half blond and half black hair. I couldn't get back into my vehicle, lost the keys maybe? And Keith got it back open and also drove me home because I couldn't back out of the parking space and also I could barely drive it period, God knows why I even had it.

2nd December 25
The dream centers around a whale basically, it's an image that I can't shake.
Basically my family calls me and my brother because they got a whale (which is convenientelly layed on the road near the house) and we have to cut it to eat.
We do and supposedly it gets eaten.
After that I get tasked toget rid of the carcass but somehow while I'm getting prepared the task shifts and I have to clean my car which supposedly smells like shit because of the whale, but my father tells me not to go to a carwash, but to wash it myself.

All of the dream I have this feeling of resentment and anger about it because I have literally no reason to be doing all that shit, first of all I don't live with my parents and it makes no sense that I prepare the whale for them, and it would be better to use a carwash anyway.

Pretty strange dream.

14 December 25
Actually two weird dreams, they're both nightmares.
In the first dream I had to go out of my house (at work? Or at a party, I don't know) anyway I stopped by the police station to look for something, maybe my police uniform (I'm not a policeman!), and I was physically strolling through the cubicles and offices there, at some point some thing fell off the floor behind a desk and I picked it up, can't remember what it was. Anyway I give up searching and we go to something like a party, there are some guys that for some reason want to steal my gym bag, it has some kind of electronic key or hard drive with codes in it. Anyway this guy tries anything to do it, at the end they get it, I come to my senses and my friend shows me a video where there's me and some friends + the thief and it look like there's me but it turns out it's just an old that looks like me (I used to buzz my hair). I also went to the thieves house to look but I can't remember what happened. It doesn't sound like a nightmare but the thieves presence felt really negative and aggressive so that's how I felt.

Second dream is about gladiators, can't tell much because I don't remember , but there were two gladiators, man and woman, fighting, and also their boss so to speak, not much to tell but it was really gorish and bloody. At some point the guys loses his arm, then they manage to make it grow back but he loses both arms again, their boss gives him plastic arms that he can't move, but also gives them a ton of money in exchange. Could be a metaphor on how job takes a part of us away...

10/01/26

Probably had another dream along with this one, but I don't remember much due to me forgetting to write them immediately. Anyway I know the ropes of the second one, which was probably the most interesting.

I walk into a meat shop at night, there's only a foreigner guy behind the counter, someone brings him dogs to cut up, but they look weird, they look ferocious and are already kinda skinned, although they aren't reddish (like when you skin someone) but they look more like wet bones with blood and stuff, they look like a mix between a wolf and a dog.
the other person (I woman I assume) has to hold them by the leash until the guy cuts a certain amount (or a certain part) and they stop being ferocious. the woman stops holding the leash on one before the guy cuts and he starts screaming in a weird tongue (sounds kinda romanian) but he manages to catch it before the dog does any damage. After that I look at the cuts on the counter, but I don't understand what cuts they are, I try asking but he responds something I don't understand, he repeats and I ask again and he repeats again but I don't get it, we settle for the cut I was looking for even though I don't know what it was.
After that I think we become kind of friends and he invites me to play some kind of videogame where we are riding mount and have to hit each other till the hp are depleted.

The dream stops there, as always, crazy shit.

11/01/26
It's not much but it's something,
yesterday I went to bed early, I think I shut my phone around midnight to try and sleep, I "slept" very bad, I have some kind of bruise on my leg that got worse with scratching and it was driving me mad during the semi-conscious phase, I would roll in bed, scratch and the usual, at around 4 in the morning I went to the bathroom, washed and applied some cream. Went to sleep again, I don't remember much but I dreamt about God speaking to me, we were in a car, I was sitting behind, I tried to tell something but I didn't really get to the point, he was somewhat condescending, didn't feel ominous or holy though, it's probably nothing.
I woke up at 11:30 Am which is incredibly unusual because even if I sleep really bad I just wake up at 7AM

 

[Forveleth]

OH good! I was hoping this thread would pop back up as I had a doozy last night! I will apologize in advance as I am not quite sober atm.

I was, for some reason, invited this is massive party to launch a new model Lamborghini.
Some context: This was one of those 0.1% parties. Like, the richest people ever were going to be there. I am nowhere NEAR this class. Also, I am 100% not a "car person". I could not give two shits about the new Lambo so I have no idea why I was invited to this party.
Anyway, I did not really want to go but my husband wanted to go (also not part of the 0.1%, also very much not a car person). I somehow managed to pull strings and get him into the exclusive part of the party where you got to have dinner in the room with the new model before anyone saw it. I know, sooooooooo cool. We got to the party not knowing anyone (why would we?) and we had kind of a handler showing us around. She was introducing us to people and helping us blend in (as we obvs did not belong there). The whole time, she also kept passive-aggressively telling me how grateful we should be for all the effort she put in to get my hubby (not me, I could not go) into the "exclusive" group.
So, meal time comes and the 20 "exclusive" people get to go to the special room. I went in with hubby just to make sure he was settling in and then I was going to leave before good arrived. He was talking to someone and trying to explain something rather simple to them.
Some context: The way my husband explains things is totally backwards to me. Half the time I get very frustrated with him because his method of explanation absolutely does not match the way my brain most readily interprets information. It has literally lead to arguments between the two of us when he is trying to explain the rules of a game or something.
Anyway, he is doing his shitty explanation, so I jump in and try to explain it better. I keep talking over him. I knew it was rude but dude, you suck at explaining, let me get the damn point across. He then turns and cracks me, open palm, across the face.
Some context: My husband is a giant pussy. He has never shown physical violence towards me and I am pretty sure if he ever tried I could beat him to a pulp.
Anyway, the room stops for a second, but then people just move on because rich people act like shit is all fine and then talk about it behind everyone's backs. I am humiliated. I politely excuse myself and leave the party. I then walk like 3 miles to go home and, because it is raining, the sides of the road are total mud pits (no sidewalks because fuck pedestrians in America), and I get absolutely covered in mud going home (so much for my every nice outfit).
I did not even make it home before I woke up.

Have no idea what this shit was about other than that it follows the usual theme of tension/anger between hubby and I and me feeling humiliation/ unworthy/ an embarrassment thanks to all of his emotional abuse over the years. It usually manifests as me dreaming about a shouting match as home so this was something really different. Anyway, there it is.

Not much, I dreamt I was still at my parents' house and me and some friends were prepping to go on a trip to the USA, most of the dream is me going around trying to pack my baggage and waiting to go to the US
Wonder what it means

 

[ghosted1]

I had a dream that I was in this grunge looking city and was stood in this tiny corner of a beach, there was a bunch of burger stands from small home businesses. Gourmet burgers with large patties, smash burgers, etc. The air was smoky and smelled of cooked meat. Nearby was a bunch of picnic tables cramped together with a few bins, and then a rope nearby sectioning it off from the rest of the murky beach. I remember walking through it with a Burger King and feeling absolutely gutted. I think my imaginary boyfriend (yes, judge me) brought me the burger so I couldn't throw it away in front of his eyes. So I just quickly snuck around trying to get my hands on a juicy gourmet burger without him noticing.

Then all of a sudden, there was this group tour going on, so me and him decided to tag along. There was this very tall structure, some historical building that was pure white. It was very high up and you could accidentally fall through the barriers if you weren't careful. The stairs were steep.

I remember going into one area and being told off because it wasn't open to the public. And that's when I saw WALDO... from Where's Waldo? who was doing parkour off the buildings and had a fan gathering. The police were trying to get a hold of him, but everyone kept encouraging him. He was wearing this 80s styled red and white jacket, had his hair spiked up (frosted tips). That's all I can remember.
